Follow the Yellow Brick Road

My kids have a small fixation right now with the movie, "The Wizard of Oz". A couple of months ago it was "The Sound of Music". We watch it at least once a day, listen to the music in the car everywhere we go, and they periodically break into song whenever is suits them. What can you expect when you have Keith and me for parents, right? So I really shouldn't have been surprised when today as we walked down the busy aisles at Wal-Mart, Hillary and Claire stood in front of my cart, linked arms, started skipping, and at the top of their lungs began singing "Follow the Yellow Brick Road! We're off to see the Wizard, the Wonderful Wizard of Oz!" Believe me, I wish I'd had the presence of mind to whip out my cell phone camera. People were even moving out of the way so they could keep going down the road. I'm sure we provided plenty of people with smile or a giggle today. Just in case you were wondering, they didn't stop until we reached the car at which time the CD player kicked in and they switched tunes to "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead."
